Introduction to KMS
Key Management Service (KMS) is a technology used by Microsoft to manage the activation of its software products, primarily aimed at reducing the management overhead involved in deploying Windows operating systems and Microsoft Office across a large organization. KMS allows corporate and enterprise customers to activate systems within their own network, eliminating the need for individual computers to connect to Microsoft for product activation.
